Understanding Common Inspection Findings & Debunking Home Inspection Misconceptions

A home inspection is one of the most crucial steps in a real
estate transaction, yet it’s often misunderstood. In this episode
of The Triniyah Podcast, we take a deep dive into what
home inspections really are, what they cover, and what they
don’t. We break down the most common inspection findings, from
structural issues and roof concerns to outdated electrical
systems, plumbing problems, and HVAC deficiencies.


We also tackle some of the biggest misconceptions about home
inspections, such as the belief that a home can "pass or fail,"
that new homes don’t need an inspection, or that sellers are
required to fix everything an inspector finds.


For buyers, we explain how to interpret an inspection report,
what findings should be considered red flags, and how to approach
negotiations based on the results. For sellers, we discuss how to
prepare for an inspection, why a pre-listing inspection can be a
smart move, and how to handle buyer requests for repairs. And for
homeowners, we highlight the long-term benefits of periodic
inspections to prevent costly surprises down the road.


If you're buying, selling, or simply maintaining a home, this
episode will equip you with the knowledge you need to approach
home inspections with confidence.
